The 150th Anniversary of the Mission of the Redemptorists to “make Our Mother of Perpetual Help known throughout the world” was declared a Jubilee Year. With the pronouncement of the Jubilee Year comes an opportunity for the faithful to obtain a plenary indulgence (under the usual conditions of confession, communion, and prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father) by making a pilgrimage to the Church of St. Alphonsus in Rome or any Redemptorist Church in the world to venerate the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help by the close of the Jubilee Year on June 27, 2016. Pilgrims should spend time in prayer before the icon and recite the Our Father, the Creed, and prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary as conditions of the indulgence.

You can find a Redemptorist Church near you here. They are listed by regions or provinces so for example the Baltimore Province includes Delaware, Washington D.C., Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, and the Virgin Islands.
